In 2003, yes aired a channel called Summer Nights, that featured shows in the nights of the summer of 2003. The channel was cancelled at the end of the summer.
In the summer 2004, yes decided to air a channel called yesREAL, with reality shows, such as Survivor and The Amazing Race. Due to the success of the channel, yes ran this channel again.
On October 2004, yes launced the channel yesWeekend, which broadcast American and British television shows from the beginning, in the weekends (From Thursday night at 22:00 until Sunday morning at 06:00). Later in the days, of yesWeekend, the channel moved to broadcast only on Fridays and Saturdays, and in the weeknights it carried the shows that already aired on yesWeekend in syndication. In the last two months of the channel, the channel began showing re-runs on weekdays of the shows broadcast in the weekend, as a pilot for yesSTARS. On March 4, 2006 yesWeekend was cancelled.
Under a massive campaign under the name: The Revolution is Coming, which began on February 9, 2006, yes launched on March 5, 2006 yesSTARS, with new episodes of shows broadcast on yesWeekend, and new shows that began the 2005/6 season. The shows aired on weeknights (Sundays - Thursdays), and the re-runs of the shows were in the weekdays and the weekends (Fridays - Saturdays).
On January 16, 2007, it was promoted in print and digital media that yesSTARS will expand to 3 channels - yes stars 1, yes stars 2 and yes stars 3 - on channels 12, 13 and 14 on yes. On February 11, 2007, yes launched an official promotional to the new group of channels stating the launch date to March 4, 2007. On March 3, 2007 yesSTARS has been cancelled. On March 4, 2007, the channel became yes stars 2.
